Great Weekend

Yesterday wa a great day. Brodie has been doing great and he is down into the 50's on his oxygen and has not had any real bad moments. We were able to take Bradie to the Texans game and he had so much fun. He also got to see his baby brother and he enjoyed it as much as Brodie did. When Brodie hears Bradie's voice he seems to do even better. It was just a wonderful day and for the first time in a while both of our boys were having a good day. Right now Brodie is on 50% oxygen and he has also started to not look as swollen. It is nice to see his facial features starting to come back. On Friday he was getting to the point where his face was so swollen that his ears were surrounded by his face and head. The steroids and lasix seem to be working and he has had two days of negative fluid balance. As I type this they are in the room doing an echo. Hopefully it will show that his pressures have gotten better and that we are making progress on his pulmonary hypertension. It is amazing what can happen in a week. Just last Sunday we thought that we were losing him and now he is on 51% oxygen and stable. We know that it can turn the other way just as quick but right now we will just enjoy the progress he is making. We are really wearing down at this point. We do not have any off days, weekends or vacations. We would not change it for anything. Each day that we get to spend with Brodie we know is a blessing and we can't wait to see what the future holds for him. We would not be able to do this if it weren't for everyone's kind words, support and prayers. Please keep them coming and hope everyone has a great Monday!
